    shooting while pulling focus is so much fun. i actually feel more engaged with what im shooting (you have to be) autofocus just became so lazy to me, i still use it every now and then but majority of the time im using manual now

    Thank you for the explanations and clips showing how focus pulling is carried out. I have a late model Sony using AF most of the time and I was interested to see how professionals manage manual focus. (didn't know TBH) Very interesting - Craig, Durban.

    Amazing video as always! And yes, I want to see a lighting breakdown!
    I've just bought the S5 II so I'm actually stoked about using AF coming from an all MF workflow as a solo shooter. I've never really liked the little 'scroll' focus wheel on a handle but the MagicFIZ does seem nice. I still think it shines when having a focus puller which I never have 😅

    • @jacques_crafford
      @jacques_crafford  Рік тому +1

      Thanks bro! Totally hear you about AF, I still love it but I'm digging the new Cine lenses so I'll be using a Focus Puller on my bigger shoots and I'll try the manual scroll wheel for some of the smaller stuff.

    Wish I had the luxury of a focus puller - not only a great assistant - but also the perfect person to 'blame' when you miss a shot ( I think pulling focus must be the most thankless job in cinema!)

    Very nice explanation !! U rocks ! Wich wireless transmitter were u using ? Cuz we see a lot of new product in this area but most with latency and it's almost impossible to pull focus , in the other way of the spectrum , pro wireless transmitter get very expensive quickly....do u have some good recommandations in that way , no latency "cheap.."" alternative to share with us 🙏

    What lens mount are you using for the DZO Vespids? Pretty sure they're EF/PL mount, and obviously FX3/FX30 is E-mount. Did you use DZO's mount?

      Until you have a complicated scene where AF doesn't work. I agree AF is amazing and I use it most of the time but there's a reason the entire film industry still shoots manual
